It happened with a couple of posts I published after updating to WordPress 3.5. When posts are scheduled, wordpress strips the Youtube embeds and html tags.
In my “Chords and Lyrics: Look How High We Can Fly” post for instance, the preview worked fine and so I scheduled it for release the next day. Lo, and behold, the youtube video I embedded was not there. And my style tags were gone too, such that the text between those tags were reflected on the blog post itself. I sometimes insert some additional style tags on specific posts because, in this case, I had to make all the guitar chords italic and red.
When this happens, I had to get back and edit the posts. Everything’s fine as long as you publish a post immediately, or you just edit an existing published post.
I did a quick test on my localhost server to make sure and indeed, the videos are gone. Div tags don’t seem to be affected, as well as other basic tags like ‘strong’ and ’em’. Style tags however, as I’ve said earlier, are stripped off leaving the text between them visible, e.g. p {color: red;}.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a theme issue as I’ve also heard a few other webmasters complaining about the same thing.
And one more thing, under the revisions section, there is one in there which does not reflect an author, as in

What gives?
Have the geniuses at the wordpress camp known about this issue? Will this issue be resolved in the next update? I sure hope so.

and if you don’t see the video above this note, then, as this post was scheduled, the issue is still unresolved.
